Bondi Resort BLOG: June 2019

Bondi Resort Blog

Come on into our Blog for a look at the wonderful world we've got to share! With over 240 hectares (600 acres) of wilderness woodlands surrounding the resort, just ten minutes from Algonquin Park, we feature over 400 metres (1200’) of waterfront and beach; boat rentals; summer hiking trails winding through fields and woods; 20 km. of groomed cross country ski trails and snowshoeing in winter; access to nearby snowmobile trails for sledders, and a toboggan hill for the young at heart.

How we Roll

Summer's back... and so are our guests! Welcome.

just a rolling stone...

One of our guests Linda shows off the ticket stub to the Stones concert.... not the one at Burl's Creek, but the the one at Maple Leaf Gardens in 1966 !!!

The price was far more reasonable too, at $5.00!

Rock On, Linda.

Skies of Blue, and Bluebirds

Dave Van Der Laar gets credit for the first picture, possibly one of the best I've ever seen of a bluebird. The rest, less spectacular, are mine. I sat by the nest with a telephoto lens for about half an hour.

The nest is right by the gate, so our guests are getting a great chance to see them flitting about

Mr. and Mrs. Bluebird

It is incredible how vivid a shade of blue they are!

Beauty in small things dept.

How perfectly woven this is, almost all from horse hair, with a bit of moss . Probably a finch. When you consider the amount of work that tiny beaks have done to make this - almost an inch deep, moulded into a perfect cushioned cup, each strand of horse hair carefully placed, the exterior decorated with moss and tiny twigs it staggers the mind

Such Joy

right -- people should be here enjoying the beautiful Lake of Bays, not stuck in cities... So please help us spread the word. Mostly 3 bedroom cottages (which we can rent as 2 if there are only 4 people), although we do have a few weeks in a super 4 bedroom; and two weeks open in a 6 bedroom that is an absolutely ideal reunion/large family unit. Please tell your friends and co-workers... maybe we can find out just how much reach FB really has.... Thanks

You could put yourself in this joyous picture...

Napster Art

We are very proud of Napster, our tail-painting cat, who uses his lovely artwork to raise money for charities. This lovely little creature passed away July 2015, but left a huge legacy, having raised over $12,000 for various charities through the sale of his artwork. That artwork, through prints and notecards, is still available.
Click here to visit Napster's Blog and visit the gallery of his tail-paintings.

Now sold around the world, he was honoured to have his artwork sold around the globe -- he even has a print with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
